Great news, we are piloting syngas methanation in Sweden! Q Power, Cortus Energy AB (CE), the gasification technology supplier, and Biokraft one of the leading biogas producers in the Nordic countries, have joined forces in the Synferm project organized by the Baltic Energy Innovation Center (BEIC).
During this project, we will carry out a pilot in which biomethane is refined from synthesis gas i.e. syngas from gasified wood material in Q Power's bioreactor. Syngas is produced from for example logging waste using Cortus WoodRoll® technology. Our aim is to broaden the raw material base for biomethane production.
Q Powers biological methanation is highly tolerant to impurities so it is possible to utilize different kind of gases as a source for producing renewable synthetic methane. Synthesis gas or syngas is a mix of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2). It can be turned into biofuels by using a biological fermentation process. In this process, microorganisms convert carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases into organic molecules through metabolic pathways. Syngas fermentation offers an environmentally friendly path for utilizing waste gases as raw material.
